The VGT Omnivore's Hundred

So not much cooking tonight with questionable power and a tropical storm slowly dragging itself across us, but so far we still have electricity and internet. So Christey and I figured we'd do a fun meme (by way of Jenn, The Leftover Queen) and answer the question of: 100 things every omnivore should eat at least once

Here's what to do: 1) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. 2) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.

The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred:

Peter's List: 1. Venison 2. Nettle tea 3. Huevos rancheros 4. Steak tartare 5. Crocodile (I figure alligator counts) 6. Black pudding 7. Cheese fondue 8.

Oxtail 41. Curried goat 42. Whole insects. (I assume this is on purpose. Depends on the insect. Is a single ant an insect?) 43. Phaal 44. Goat’s milk 45.

Sweetbreads (I've been looking for a place to have 'em as an appetizer) 63. kaolin (is this really clay? I can't see a huge use for it if so, but I might be convinced otherwise) 64. Currywurst 65. Durian (I found a local supply for it, look for a post soon) 66. Frogs’ legs 67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake 68. Haggis (sure, why not) 69. Fried plantain 70. Chitterlings or andouillette 71. Gazpacho 72. Caviar and blini 73. Louche absinthe (pastis a lot. Until recently the absinthe thing was a problem in The States) 74. Gjetost or brunost 75. Roadkill (depends. I've known people who hit a deer with their car and then dressed it) 76. Baijiu 77. Hostess Fruit Pie (my favorite dessert in the High School cafeteria) 78. Snail 79.

Horse (I wouldn't go out of my way, but if I were somewhere where it was already there...I'd try it. Shoot me now.) 90. Criollo chocolate 91. Spam 92. Soft shell crab 93. Rose harissa 94. Catfish 95. Mole poblano 96. Bagel and lox 97. Lobster Thermidor 98. Polenta 99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee (Good Lord, this is just as good as they say, and I'm not a big coffee guy). 100. Snake (My local supermarket sold it often several years ago, but I was much less adventurous then)
